The Life of a Dancer

continuous circles.

2010-03-09T20:47:00.000-08:00

just found this poem:

how is it that life can travel in continuous circles?

sometimes floating upwards. lighter than air. endlessly weightless towards the outskirts of the atmosphere.

sometimes spiraling downwards. slowly first, then crashing towards rock bottom. towards the unfixable.

life is constantly changing

shifting

moving.

life replays itself.

it heals itself.

it fixes itself.

just when everything seems totally hopeless, there comes a

glimmer.

a piece.

a hint of

new hope.

hope to soar upwards.

hope to fix the broken, split, shattered, circles surrounding our lives.

connecting our lives together. connecting our own life together.

becoming one.

OH and happy (almost) birthday to my big sister, the nanny. she's such an inspiration to me. i'm not sure she knows exactly how much she means to me, but i love that girl like crazy and miss her every day.

love,

cmatt

2010-02-23T14:09:00.000-08:00

hi loyal blog followers! (aka, theonlinenanny)

it's officially been forever and a day since i've written anything on here. but i'm writing now! (that counts, right?)

oh well.

but i've decided to come back to blogging again. even if i only blog once every 4 months. that's the spirit, right?

and i'm going to do the nanny's little bloggy award thing soon, i promise!

but i can't lie, the sole purpose of this entry is because IWANTTHENECKLACETHENANNYISOFFERING.

so. i love the nanny. i want the necklace. here is my entry :)

toodles,

cmatt

tomorrow is a relative term.

2009-08-25T20:11:00.000-07:00

dance camp food time :)

this chocolate pudding was practically forced on us every day. it was some of the BEST pudding i've ever eaten so of course we had no problem forcing it down!

the next two pictures were from our meal on the 4th of july. since we had regular classes all day we didn't get to do anything special so our counselors ordered in barbecue and cookies for all of us!

delicious cake!

and PLENTY of milkyway midnights backstage :)

dance camp: food

2009-08-17T19:27:00.000-07:00

so this summer, i went away to another dance camp and had the time of my life. i can't even describe how much i miss it! for the next few posts, i'll be sharing some photos that i took during my three weeks there. over the three weeks, i took 1,410 pictures :)

so a common assumption about dancers is that we don't eat. au contraire, my friend!

here are some pictures of the amount of food my friends and i would eat in one meal. tomorrow, i'll show you some of the actual food!

love you all and get ready for delicious food tomorrow :)

say what??

2009-08-16T17:31:00.000-07:00

it's been how long?

long enough :)

i've been taking pictures of flowers...

adorable pupsters...

eyes...

and especially food!

hopefully i'll be updating this more often now!

(now that i remembered my password...)

love you all!

2009-04-09T17:16:00.000-07:00

A Mysterious Sight

2009-02-26T05:27:00.000-08:00

So last night at about 1:45 AM, I saw a strange sight in my bed.

I investigated further...

Fuzzy? Brown?

Does that look like a head to anyone?

*Gasp!*

It's a sleepy pupster!

Bracelets

2009-02-22T10:27:00.000-08:00

Oh and this is ALL the lighting I had to take these pictures:

Why the weird lighting? Can you figure out where I was?

So I'm basically the most boring blogger ever... because I NEVER have ANYTHING to blog about! So, because I'm so creative, I'm going to invite you all to give me some topics! Anything!

You can:

-Ask me questions

-Ask my opinion

-Ask me to explain anything

-Ask me to write about you

-Just generally give me SOMETHING to blog about!

You don't have to stick to those topics, though!

Have fun! Be creative! Enjoy!

All Good Love,

Bloglines!!!

2008-08-02T21:02:00.001-07:00

I finally gave in and made my own Blogline feed... it took FOREVER!

But finally.... all 103 of my blogs are accounted for! Hopefully this will make my life easier!

So a quick update:

This morning I had another ballet class... I can't wait until my regular dance schedule starts so I can dance everyday! Right now I'm just taking the classes offered because the regular classes don't start until the 18th! I can't wait!!!

After ballet I went to my friend's house and we painted her room! It took forever but now it's a really cute light purple/lavender color! It was great to get to catch up with her too because I haven't seen her much this summer!

Well I know it's been quick... but I'm super tired so I'm heading to bed!

All Good Love,

PS. I just went back and read over this... and I realized that every single sentence in this entry ended with at least one exclamation mark. Enthusiastic much?

The Name of the Game

2008-07-30T20:49:00.000-07:00

So all day I've been listening to the "Mamma Mia" soundtrack on youtube...yeah I said youtube. (Basically, I'm to cheap to spend $11.99 on it on iTunes so I just listen to the songs on youtube!)

I've officially become addicted to these songs, you guys! When I saw the movie at first, I wasn't too thrilled with it but now that I've listened to the songs again a few times, I can't wait to see the movie again! It's super cute, cheesy, and funny... just like a good movie should be :)

Anyway... so these past few days I've been nannying for one of the nanny's families "The M's." It was just a three day job, pretty much all day long. Now.... I'm not one to allow much TV-watching when I babysit, but these past few days there wasn't much else to do! It's just plain HOT outside here in my city. We would swim for a few hours a day and color and paint our nails... and then color again... and then make cookies.... and then spend 2 hours constructing a guinea pig mansion for their pet guinea pig... and then we would sit around and wonder what to do.

Today was pretty entertaining with the girls because we decided to make a lemonade stand out in their front yard! We whipped up some lemonade and cute colored signs to advertise and stood outside on their curb for about an hour, sweating in the sun. I was really doubtful that the girls would get ANY customers in this heat, but by the end of the time they had made about 16 dollars! I was pretty jealous! It was cute hearing the youngest of the four girls standing on the curb yelling "Free lemonade! Only 50 cents!" :)

Anyway, I'm excited because tomorrow after ballet class I get to hang out with two of my closest friends from school! All in all, I'm so not looking forward to school starting yet. (Maybe I should start my summer reading??) This summer seems like it has flown by completely... and actually, I haven't slept in more than 3 or 4 mornings this whole summer! I need to catch up on sleep soon before school starts! The only thing that I'm looking forward to about the school year starting up again is my regular dance schedule being back on track. The only classes offered this summer are adult ballet classes which are fun, but not as intense as I would like for them to be. It's SO hard for me to stay in shape during the summer without regular classes!

Sooooooo I guess I've rambled long enough... I'm just trying to get back in to the whole "blogging" thing :)

All Good Love,
C

Ps. My computer is freaking out right now and the spacing on this entry looks REALLY weird and I haven't published this post yet... When I publish it and look at it... it will probably look really weird and the spacing will be off.... but I'll be to lazy to fix it... My apologies :)

Pps. I have no idea what I was trying to say in that last paragraph... hopefully it will make sense.

Ppss. (or is it Pss?) I'm really tired so I'm not even going to read over this. Sorry for all the typos and grammatical errors. Have fun reading!

Mama Mia... Here I go again!

2008-07-23T20:21:00.000-07:00

So i'm starting to remember why I lost track of updating this blog... it's because I don't have anything interesting to blog about!

Thus, I begin again with the random posts that make no sense :)
Tonight's theme......... Other blogs and things to keep you entertained!

Numero Uno:
I came across this delicious heavenly goodness while I was reading all of my cooking blogs one day (yes, I follow about 39 cooking blogs... no joke)

Doesn't it look amazing???

Numero Dos:
I am absolutely inspired by the Sartorialist's most recent post: On the Street....Woman of Arles, France. I think she looks fabulous!

Numero Tres:
12,353 views?? Dang, Nanny!

Numero Quatro:
Here.

Oh wait did I already send you there? Sorry... couldn't help it :)

Numero Cinco:
My favorite blog to lurk is this one. I check it all the time because she cracks me up and it's making me so sad because she recently lost her puppy!

Numero Seis:
Now this blog is a winner. Fo Sho.

Look at that! I just doubled my blog view count! Thanks guys! Oh and on that note... whoever is lucky viewer number 800 will win a HUGE AMAZING FANTASTIC prize!

Numero Siete:
Woaaaaah!

Numero Ocho:
Caution-- VERY addicting!

Numero Nueve:
HAHAHAHAHA!

Well that's it for now... I hope you enjoyed :)

All Good Love,

Blog? What Blog?

2008-07-20T13:31:00.001-07:00

Hello?

Is anyone still out there?

Yeah I know... I completely disregarded this whole "blogging" thing for waaaay to long. The good news is that I'm back now! (I know you're thrilled!) So hopefully for the next little while I will be back to regular blogging. (Maybe a few times a week :) I have so many stories to tell all you faithful blog readers (AKA the nanny or those who just saw my blog name bolded in their blogfeeds) about the end of my school year, the beginning of summer, and most importantly my adventures at American Ballet Theater!

I'm super excited to restart this blog! Please let me know if you drop by just so I know that I acutally have people out there still reading :)

All Good Love,

Prayer Request

2008-04-02T20:52:00.000-07:00

Please keep this amazing family in your prayers tonight.

All Good Love,

PS. I promise that once I get back on track in school and dance (which is currently taking over my life) I will get back to blogging!

.....

2008-03-25T19:22:00.000-07:00

........

I'm buried under easter candy and homework.

........

I'll be back this weekend!

All good love,
C

ps. Leave me some love so I know you're still reading! (Yes, even you first time readers...)

Okay, Okay...

2008-03-22T12:52:00.000-07:00

I officially faaaail at blogging, you guys.

Well, I say "you guys" with the hope that there are still people out there who occasionally drop by and check to see if I've updated this blog or not....

Alright so now would be about the point in time in which I would make some grand excuse about why I haven't had enough time to blog because of my crazy and busy life... buuuuut... it's been spring break for me for the past week. I'm just a bad blogger :)

Anyway, what's going on with me?

Well?

How about nothing?

So far this spring break:
-I went to a concert of one of my favorite bands (SO much fun!)
-I've hung out with friends
-I've danced (of course)
-I've done homework (of course)
-I've attempted to tan (even though apparently it's impossible for my skin tone to darken even the slightest bit)
-I've slept
-I've read
-I've eaten
-I've blogged (HAHA yeah right...)
-I've cleaned my room (No, seriously! I did!)
-I went to a modern art museum
-I ate at a completely vegan restaurant (which was actually amazing!)

I think that's pretty much it... now I have tons and tons and tons of reading, projects, and homework to do for school which starts on Tuesday! Woohoo! I just love homework!

Right.

Drop me a comment if you're still reading this, guys. From now on I'll try to be a more responsible blogger :)

All Good Love,
C

Ugh.

2008-03-05T21:51:00.000-08:00

Hey guys. This is gonna be short tonight because it's 11:51 and it's a school night... but I'm frustrated so I'm here to talk. If you don't want to read a super long vent about my day, then skip the next few paragraphs!

So I had my private lesson tonight.

My teacher talked with me for awhile. She said that I had everything working for me... I had the right feet, body, and my technique was on it's way... but she said that there was still something holding me back. For the past few months she's been working with me on being more expressive and stepping out of my comfort zone. I've tried! I am doing everything I can do to be an expressive dancer and to not care what other people think about me! Still... she said that she has seen so much more expression in my dancing when I am in my lesson with her and she is making me dance "bigger" than she sees in my other classes. She said that maybe it was something psychological that was holding me back that I didn't realize. I don't know what it is.

Also, tonight my tap teacher told me that I needed to loosen up and work on my "sultry walking" in our dance.

And last week my modern teacher told me to "go for it more."

And last week in dance at school my teacher told me to "be less ballet" in our jazz dance.

I just don't know what else to do. I am really trying my best.

And on top of it all I messed up my hamstring again. Dang.

Sorry for the downer tonight guys... I just needed to vent!

All Good Love,
C

I've Been Tagged!

2008-03-02T19:20:00.000-08:00

Thanks to The Nanny, I now have to think of six more things about myself to tell you guys.

Seriously... I'm not that interesting of a person. I'm about out of things to say about myself!

The rules:
1) Link to the person who tagged you (see above).
2) Post the rules.
3) Share six non-important things / habits / quirks about yourself.
4) Tag at least three people.
5) Make sure the people you tagged KNOW you tagged them by commenting what you did.
Six non-important things about me:

1) I love severe weather. I hate plain old sunny days. I'm more of an extremely windy or thunder storming kinda gal.

2) I used to collect Lady Bugs. (No, not the actual bug... things with Lady Bugs on them.)

3) I love to eat... I will eat pretty much anything that you put in front of me... except for swiss cheese. That's pretty much the opposite of my sis, The Nanny, who won't eat anything.

4) I would love to have the following floors in my house: a floor made completely of mattresses, a floor made of those FOM pillows, a floor made of trampolines, a floor made of moving sidewalks, a floor made of ice, a floor made of silk... the list goes on and on!

5) I am such a procrastinator. For example, right now I need to be memorizing 150 vocab words for a test tomorrow. So what am I doing? Blogging. Yep that's right... I don't really care what "corpulence" and "placate" mean.

6)

Hmm.... I don't have a number 6!

So that's where you readers come in!!!

Here is my challenge to you all: I would love for everyone who reads my blog to ask me a question: anything! It can be about who I am, what I look like, my likes/dislikes... really, be creative! It's also a good way to get to know everyone out there reading this. (If there is anyone, that is!) And because the only people I know to tag have been tagged, consider this contest my "tagging."

SO... let the games begin!

All Good Love,
C

PS. We're getting close to 400 blog views! Who will be the lucky number 4-0-0??

Hey Guys... Guess What?

2008-02-24T07:54:00.000-08:00

It's Random Sunday!

Today I am going to tell you some interesting facts about who I am.

Yay! I can tell you are all SO excited!

So let's begin:

1) I am a self-confessed Harry Potter lover. I have read the books about 11 times each! I also love, well, books in general! I never have time to read them because I'm always reading some book for school or something.

2) I hate throwing things away. I have things in my room from when I was just a little kid! I guess I just like having them around or something....

3) All my friends tell me I am an "intense tooth brusher." I guess I had never really noticed that I brushed like crazy until they mentioned it! :)

4) This year, I was looking forward to winter like crazy, but now I can't wait until spring comes! (And then no summer=no school!!!)

5) My bedroom is LIME GREEN!

6) Other than being a dancer when I get older here are my two ideal jobs:
-Being a professional photographer
-Being the person in the back of restaurants who makes the food all pretty looking (does this have a name?)

7) I LOVE going to Pet Stores. And this place called Central Market. And the Container Store. Not sure why on any of those places, but in all seriousness I would rather go to them than most anywhere else!

8) I am scared to death of the ocean. I NEVER want to go in the ocean! I love the beach, though! I think it's just the fact that sharks are in oceans that freaks me out.

9) I have a new obsession--food blogs. I read a million daily because I just LOVE seeing recipes and how to make them! I am constantly finding new ones to look at and I get so excited!

10) I have a love/hate relationship with my hair. I like the color sometimes (it's brown) but I do wish that it had more blond in it. It is very versatile, however, because I can wear it curly or straight. BUT it's REALLY super frizzy! That's the main problem I have with it!

11) My newest obsession is watching America's Next Top Model online! I love that show!

12) I want to travel the world. I would love to finally get out of North America and do some real traveling!

Well... I think that's about it, folks. I gotta go do some homework! :(

All Good Love,
C

YAY!

2008-02-20T19:33:00.001-08:00

I GOT INTO THE COMPANY AT THE BALLET STUDIO!!!

:)

Who Are You?

2008-02-17T20:37:00.000-08:00

Alright people. Let's get down to business.

I've gotten about 260 blog views... but I have no idea who you guys are! Seriously... am I the only one who reads this blog? Well, occasionally the Nanny reads it... But hey, let me know who you are! I love getting to know new people!

So here's the weekend's big story:

Well, normally I have a private lesson for ballet on Wednesday evenings, but this week I couldn't because of another conflict. So... I asked my instructor if she was available on Saturday morning. She said she was so we booked a time and a lesson. Then she recommended that I stay for the company rehearsal that afternoon as well to show that I was dedicated and willing to work. I was really excited! I love going to company rehearsal! My teacher worked us hard, that's for sure! For the company show this year, they are doing an act from Swan Lake. So during rehearsal on Saturday, I stood near the back and tagged along learning.

I thought I did pretty well until she began to teach the Pas de Deux (the partnering dance.)

Normally, I would have just stayed in the back, learned the part, and then been pleased with my accomplishments.

I should have known that it wasn't going to happen that way.

So we learned the Pas de Deux. It was pretty much the hardest thing I have ever learned in my whole life. I am totally not an advanced partnering student in ballet. This is my first year to be able to attend partnering classes. So I learned it. About 5 groups of people had done the combination and I thought I was home free! I was like, "YES! I don't have to humiliate myself by doing this combination in front of the whole company!" And thennnnn... someone was like, "We need another person to do this! C! Go do it!"

I think my stomach dropped about 17 feet. I freaked.

Now here is what the Pas de Deux is supposed to look like:

Now I can guarantee that I did not look ANYTHING like Gillian Murphy did while doing that. I think I kicked my partner about 93759375 times. And stepped on his toes about 93759358 times. And whapped him across the face with my arms or hands about 9239875 times.

Oh man.

What have I done???

All Good Love,
C

Get Ready...

2008-02-15T11:09:00.000-08:00

In 6 days I have gotten about 215 views... holy granola!

I know for many of you professional bloggers 221 profile views must be nothing but to me it's so cool! I can't believe that many people have read my blog!

So anyway.

I don't have school today for whatever reason so here's my plan:

Wake up
Eat
Go back and sit in bed while on computer
Eat
Go back and sit in bed while on computer
Blog
Do some Drivers Ed while on computer
Clean my room (yeah right... but I thought it would make me sound a bit less lazy...)
Go back and sit in bed while on computer
Eat
Go to ballet
Come home
Go to sleep

Sounds like a good day, huh?

So now on to some serious business. I have a Mac computer so I was blogging in Safari. However, I realized that I couldn't do anything fun to my blog! I couldn't spell check, make things italic or bold, link objects, or put pictures in it. SO... I tried it in Firefox. That's where I am now!

Let's see how this works... italics? Bold?

OOH! Maybe I can try some color?? Red? Green? Blue? Purple? PINK?? (Don't worry... the novelty of this will wear off soon!)

Wait... there's more! Fonts! Some Arial? OOh.. Courier! Woah! Georgia! These are so much fun! Can you tell I'm in heaven!

In all seriousness... there is just more to come so if this is boring you at all, dear readers, please skip to the end!

Now. Let's try some sizes! SmallestSmallNormalLargeLargest!
How FUN!

Alright... I'm done! I promise!

So anyway... I guess I should get back to my busy schedule! I don't want to get off track!

All Good Love,
C

Wait... one more thing: This is Max my cute puppy!

Okay....

2008-02-13T20:24:00.001-08:00

So who thinks that this is the cutest blog EVER!!??!!?

Thanks so much to the amazing Andi for making it so cute!

You can visit her at http://www.scrappinblogdesigns.blogspot.com/ (Sorry about not linking that... I'm not that blog savvy yet...)

Anyway... today was a really good day! I had a great day at school... and I'm super excited because I don't have school on Friday or Monday! YAY! Four day weekend, here I come! Just one more day of school left!

Well... because it's 10:30 at night, I guess I should go get started on my English essay! (Wish me luck on that one...)

All Good Love,
C

Sigh.

2008-02-11T18:35:00.000-08:00

Everyone ready for a rant? If not, run away now!

Ok.

So I had the WORST ballet class tonight. I skipped a choir rehearsal because I heard from the monday night teacher that we were having Pas De Deux (partnering) class tonight. I got there and I thought I was doing pretty well in ballet! But the teacher didn't. (Let's just call him Mr. T) So Mr. T would kindly correct his favorite students, while ignoring me completly. The only times he would correct me, he would say "turn out your foot more, C" or "watch your arms, K." (Yes, I realize that I called myself "K" but that's because Mr. T only got my name correct once. The whole class. One time. I've been dancing at that studio for years!)

Then for the icing on the cake. Mr. T decided that there was no partnering tonight. So I used up yet another one of my 3 possible excused choir absenses for nothing. They are probably having partnering next week. I can't go. Therefore I will be behind all of the other girls. And they will think I am not dedicated. And I won't get into the company. (See next paragraph for a rant about that one...) And the guys won't want to partner me because I'm not as experienced. And now I'm behind in choir because I missed a rehearsal for nothing.

Anyway, about the company. I had my audition for the ballet company this past Sunday. It went pretty well, but we have to wait two weeks before we hear anything. After tonight's class, I'm guessing I won't get in.

I just don't know what else to do. I have added on two extra classes a week to get stronger (meaning that I am taking 12 to 13 classes a week), I am even taking private lessons to get my technique up to par. I am working SO HARD.

Yet no one notices me.

This is so frustrating.

And I am not spell checking this tonight.

So have fun reading it.

All Good Love,
C

OH and THANKS FOR ALL OF THE BLOG VIEWS! I'm so excited! (even though half of them are mine...) :D

I'm Still Alive!

2008-02-09T08:41:00.000-08:00

I SURVIVED THE ENGLISH TEST!

And it's Saturday!

So this is good!

I have the Sadies dance at my school this weekend and I don't have a dress so the Nanny and I might go shopping in a little while... that should be fun!

Also, in case you were wondering which one of the many ballet audition places I am attending this summer (I'm sure you were wondering that... right?) I'm going to ABT! (American Ballet Theater) I'm really really really really really nervous though... because I will be alone for THREE WEEKS. AHHH!

Anyway, sorry this is short but I've gotta run!

All Good Love,
C

PS. THANKS FOR ALL OF THE VIEWS! I'm so excited :) Let me know if you dropped by!

Sigh

2008-02-07T19:49:00.000-08:00

I was my own 100th viewer.

How sad.

Who wants to be my 105th viewer??

Oh man...

2008-02-06T18:57:00.000-08:00

First of all for some serious buisness:

WHO WANTS TO BE MY 100'S VIEWER??? Let me know!!!!!!

Ok here's the next bit of information:

I have NO idea who I am going to do about this English test that I have on Friday... we have about an hour and a half to write an essay... a SPECIFIC essay following EXACT paragraph structures. Here is an example of the essay structure we have to follow to an exact EXACT replica:
Intro Sentence
Example 1
Analysis 1
Example 2
Analysis 2
Example 3
Analysis 3
Conclusion
That's it. There are NO extra sentences, no room for anything. I hate it.
And here is the question we have to answer:

"If we view the history of philosophy using Hegel's dialectic process, what major themes appear? What ideas are created and negated? How does the denial of the mythological world view eventually lead to Existentialism?

Oh. My. Gosh.

I am going to fail out of school.

Ugh.

All Good Love,
C

Oh.... and let me know if you drop by!!! I love getting comments!

Whew!

2008-02-05T20:42:00.000-08:00

All Good Love,
C

ps. Is there anyone out there reading but me and the Nanny? If so, let me know!

pps. OH and my spellcheck isn't working so if there are millions of errors... i'm terribly sorry. I don't have the brain enough to check it right now... I only got about 5 hours of sleep last night!

WOW!

2008-02-03T18:54:00.000-08:00

Man oh man.... 74 VIEWS!?!?!

YESSSS!

Anyway, this has been a super sweet weekend (too short though!)... Now I'm watching the SuperBowl! I don't understand football at ALL but I like to watch it for some reason. Most of the time tonight I just muted the game and watched the commercials! :)

Anyway, I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

All Good Love,
C

Alright, Alright...

2008-02-01T19:31:00.000-08:00

So I know that after that uplifting post (haha... yeah right) you all are just eagerly awaiting to hear more fantastic stories from the dancer's day! YAY!

Sadly, I don't really have any.....

so I'll ramble!!

Sooooo Thursday was good... school was tough but dance was fun! I failed yet another English quiz. (Anyone know how to diagram complex sentences???) Then for dance: I had Tap Company first and we finished up a really super fun dance that we are performing in a few months. Then I had ballet. I have decided to wear my pointe shoes for a full ballet class (barre and center) at least once a week, so I tried it for the first time on Thursday. It actually wasn't that bad! It really showed me what I need to work on. Then I had pointe, which went well. The only problem was that after 2 and a half hours of wearing pointe shoes, your toes really start to burn! But then I had modern, which was barefoot, so all was well.

Today was easy at school... I had two substitutes, an easy Speech class, and then a Study Hall... so it was pretty uneventful! Then dance was fun... Friday is always really hard because it is a class with an older level. Then I had partnering class which was okay, and then Father Daughter which was fun too. It's really hard to dance at a studio in which you don't get noticed. Hey, I was practically running into the teacher and she didn't even glance at me! (Sigh...)

Anywhooo... It's my first night home this week that I don't have to do homework, so I am going to take advantage of it. (Sleep, maybe?)

Here are the famous quotes for the day:

"If dance were easy, they'd call it football."
"Dancing with the feet is one thing, dancing with the heart is another."

All Good Love,
C

I had

2008-01-31T14:06:00.000-08:00

a terrible day.

What's that book called? Something about Alexander's No Good Very Bad Awful Humiliating Exhausting Terrible Day?

Yep.

That's the one.

All I want to do is curl under the covers and go to sleep. Really? I can??? Are you sure??? YES!!!

Oh wait...... no.... I still have 5 hours of dance to do tonight.

And I'm running late.

Because I'm blogging.

*Exasperated Sigh*

Probably more than you ever wanted to know about my day!

2008-01-29T19:14:00.000-08:00

Now that I've hit the big times y'all, it's time to get some serious blogging going on! I mean, 35 readers? (Well, 35 including the 32 hits from me...)

Anyway... I really liked the whole "quotes" thing. For some reason it just really inspired me! Maybe I'll have Sunday be "quote day" or something... or maybe I'll just end every post in a quote! Hmm... feedback?

So... about my day. It got off to a bumpy start, I must say! I went to bed last night at about 11:30, which is normal for me. Then I was planning on waking up at about 5:30 to finish my English homework. Soooo my mom walks into my room at about 6:30 to wake me up... just imagine my surprise :) I was not a happy camper. So I rushed really fast to get ready (and looked awful all day--make up smeared, hair in a messy bun...) and then did about a third of my English homework over breakfast. Then I was off to school. Then I had classes... chemistry was really fun today because we lit methane bubbles on fire! (*Please, do NOT try this at home, folks!) Then the rest of the day was pretty uneventful... I had to give up my lunch so I could finish my English homework, but it paid off because I totally aced the quiz!

Thennn I got home and did some homework. I ate dinner at like 4:30 (which is normal for Tuesdays) because I don't like to eat late after dance every day of the week. Then I went to ballet and pointe... I had really good classes tonight which was nice!

Now I'm home blogging... putting off writing a speech for speech class and doing some chemistry homework... hey, I do need to be able to breathe once and a while!

So now that you know more than you wanted to about my day, how was yours? What made you laugh? What made you smile? I wanna know :)

Annnd for the quote of the day:
"Be Yourself. Individuality is an essential part of artistry."

All Good Love,
C

A Thoughtful Post

2008-01-28T19:35:00.000-08:00

Hey Readers!
Here are two quotes that really made me think:

"No matter what our attempts to inform, it is our ability to inspire that will turn the tides."

For some reason, that just really made me feel good inside. :)

This one, however, kind of haunts me:

"I am worried that by being myself, I won't make an impact on the world."

Hmm... could the person possibly be shy? Maybe quiet or misunderstood? Maybe they just really want to change themselves or be noticed. I'm not sure why this one stuck out to me but it just did. Maybe it just stuck out to give me more time to sit here on my computer as opposed to doing my English homework... whatever the reason it just made me think.

Anyway, I should probably get to my homework so I can be in bed before midnight! What are some of your favorite inspirational/funny quotes?

All Good Love,
C

OH! And who will be lucky viewer number (drum roll, please) 30!?
Let me know! :)

wow

2008-01-26T09:39:00.000-08:00

I think I win the worst blogger of the year award! I haven't blogged in quite a while...

Anyway, let's get down to buisness.

Wait.

There is no buisness! What should I blog about?

Maybe I'm not interesting enough to have a blog :)

So I'll just go back to the foolproof plan "B"-- Ramble Time! (*cue catchy theme music*)

SO you all know how I've been auditioning places and all that jazz, so here's an update on that! So far I've auditioned for three places. The Rock School of Ballet (which I got in to), Ballet Austin (which I'm waiting to hear back from) and American Ballet Theater (which I just found out that I got in to!!!!) so things have been pretty busy. Now, I'm not a fan of auditioning. I don't like being numbered and then going into a big room filled with other people and then being graded. It's not my favorite thing to do. But I'll do it if it means I can become a better dancer! (Woah... that should be on a Hallmark Card!)

Lets see... what else to say... OH YEAH! I was going to blog last night BUT I found the most amaaaazing website! Now, just a little background info on me... I read cookbooks and Cooking Light Magazines like ithey are a religion. I LOVE reading them, reading the recipies, looking at the pictures... it's what I do for fun! Now imagine my utter delight when I came across a website that is an ONLINE COOKBOOK! There are actually step by step pictures of EVERYTHING! So let's just say I got carried away looking at all the yummy food and forgot to blog... then I fell asleep on the couch. (At least until my sister woke me up... see next paragraph...)

So since my delightful sister woke me up last night, I have decieded to plan revenge against her in my "rebellious" ways. (She's staying at our house right now) Here it is: right now she is still asleep. (Yes, I know it's 11:48 am) Let's just say she hates being woken up. SO here is what I am doing. My pupster Max hates being locked out of a room. He will head-butt into the door, he will whine, he will scratch the paint off of the door until you let him in! Right as I am typing, he is going CRAZY outside of her room! And I'm just gonna let him do his work. Ah... sweet, sweet reven... wait I mean sweet, sweet sisterly love! :)

Anyway, now I'm gonna go eat some lunch! This whole cooking website has made me super hungry!
All Good Love,
C

Oh and by the way, I'm not spell checking this. Yet another view of my "rebellious side." :)

Hummm

2008-01-18T22:18:00.000-08:00

Today was amazing... tonight was tough.

This morning I had a meeting with a radiologist who is helping me with my science fair project. It has to do with seeing if pointe shoes change the bone structure of feet over time, so he has been helping me with the X-Rays and such.

Then one of my best friends and I went to our old elementary school and got to visit with all of our old teachers! It was fun!

And then of course I went to ballet. First, I had technique class which was really tough, then I had pas de deux, and then I had daddy daughter class! It was fun!

Thennnn we watched The Wizard of Oz while playing the Pink Floyd CD because it coordinates and the music fits with the movie PERFECTLY if you sync it correctly! It was crazy!

But then we got some bad news about my uncle. He is in the hospital with complications from his surgery/past surgeries. He could use all of the prayers he can get :)

Anyway, I know it has been ages since my last blog, but I am so busy! All week was dedicated to school, homework, studying, choir, and dance. I haven't had any free time! It's nice though because we have a four day weekend this week! I have another audition on Monday and I should be finding out about my audition from last Sunday within the next few days!

I should probably go to bed now because I have to get up super early to go to ballet tomorrow. I'm getting a bit concerned though because I think I may have pulled a muscle in my leg!

All Good Love,
C

PS. Thanks for all of the great comments! I love getting them!

This week

2008-01-11T20:57:00.001-08:00

was pretty darn uneventful in school... next week is going to be killer though... I can just feel it coming on! :)

So tomorrow is my first audition of the year... I am surprisingly not that nervous! I guess it helps because a) I am going with a close friend this year and b) even if I do get in I won't go... I don't really want to go to Philadelphia! I am nervous about Sunday though... I will be the only one in my age group auditioning from my group of friends! Talk about pressure!

Anyway, right now I am sitting on my couch listening to my bird Lula talk. She is sitting on the table in front of me talking to anything shiny she can find! It so cute! She loves to mix up her phrases and combine them!

In English class at school, we are reading a book called "Sophie's World." It's actually pretty interesting! I think I would like it a whole lot more if I wasn't having to read it for school and get tested over it every day.... but that's normal for school!

Also, if you haven't heard the band "The Rocket Summer," I highly recommend it! (Especially the songs: Brat Pack and Cross My Heart!)

I am so sorry that this blog was so boring and random again... I guess you could say that I have "bloggers block!"

All Good Love,
C

PS. I LOVED getting all the comments that I have gotten on these past few posts! It's cool to know that there are actually people out there reading this! :)

EDIT: I got in to my Saturday audition!!!! I got level 4 out of 6! Yay!
...tomorrow's audition is a lot harder and will probably be a different story :)

Dancer Woes

2008-01-08T19:32:00.000-08:00

Alright so I guess it's about time for a new blog, huh?

Well.

Tonight's entree of choice isn't rambling, but it's going to be ranting. (It's always something, isn't it?)

So.

I'm not sure if any of you out there are very knowledgeable about the life of a dancer. Let me tell you, it is one of the most challenging, frustrating, and amazing aspects of my whole entire life. I dedicate practically every extra second that I have to dance; if I'm not in class, I'm stretching, I'm doing crunches, I'm standing in 1st position, I'm keeping my weight over my toes, I am pulling in my abs... It is like a constant nag that is always on my mind..... but I just love it so much!

So all dancers know that January and February are the death months--AUDITION times! We audition for summer intensives to go to: last summer I went away for 10 days to one and this summer I hope to go for longer! My first audition of the year is this Saturday, and then I have another one on Sunday. I am pretty much a nervous wreck! I just found out that the audition I am doing on Sunday is going to stick me in an older age group than I should be in, pretty much determining that I won't get in. The school I am auditioning for on Saturday didn't even let me in last year so I have NO idea why I'm even trying it again...

Oh goodness, that's only the beginning of the auditions!!!

The most important audition, however, is coming sometime in February. It is the audition for the COMPANY at my studio. We are a semi-professional company so I really want to get in. I have been working SO hard this year to improve, but it's just not working! I love the teachers at the studio, but they seem to pick favorites (i.e. the super amazing girls who are thin and flexible) which is understandable.

I guess I will just do my best and see what happens!
I guess I should get on to my homework... I have put it off for long enough! :)

All Good Love,
C

I really don't know....

2008-01-04T19:39:00.000-08:00

...what to blog about.

I guess I could just sit here and ramble... or I could actually try to write something structured.

Personally, I prefer the first! :)

Soooo here it goes:

I have been thinking lately about Christmas and the whole Christmas season. My sister and I were talking today about how this year in particular, Christmas didn't seem like Christmas. It sort of came and went like a regular day. I wonder why that is?

I love vintage clothes... but I can't pull them off. Really, I can't. No matter how hard I try.

I am SO thankful that today is FRIDAY because my annoying school decided to make us go back on Thursday instead of Monday like everyone else. That means that I have already suffered through TWO whole days of school so far. :(

My phone is officially freaking out. When someone calls me, I don't get the call. If they leave a voicemail, then my phone rings... and doesn't stop! It will just keep going and going until the song ends. Whenever I get a text message, it doesn't tell me that I got one. It runs out of batteries about four times a day. My alarms in the morning won't shut off until they finish. (Now, that may not seem annoying, but trust me, it really is. I set three alarms every morning. They get increasingly louder and longer. The last one is really the only one that wakes me up and when it does, I sit straight up and shut it off because it is SO loud! However, that was not the case this morning. It went off. And it kept going. And going. And going. And poor little drowsy me was sitting on my bed trying to stuff the phone under my pillow and still keep it plugged in and trying not to fall off my bed. It was bad.)

I have about had enough of Britney Spears yet I could never get tired of seeing pictures of Violet Affleck.

I hate the movie "A Christmas Story." I mean, it's scary! And sad! And so not in the Christmas spirit! My dad and sister, however, love it.

I think I'm about of randomness... I know you are relieved!

All good love,
C

2008

2008-01-02T08:22:00.000-08:00

I know, I know.... 2 posts in 2 days?? What a treat! (just kidding :)

Anyway, I have been reading some other blogs this morning and I have seen the same thing on each one! Everyone is doing this "2008 Survey About Me" thing telling some facts about themselves.
I thought I'd give it a try! Here it goes!

1. I will eat pretty much anything... except for Swiss Cheese.

2. I am pretty neat, but my room is not! I love to clean other people's stuff though... I was always the weird one at sleepovers who woke up early to clean the other person's room.

3. I am a dancer, I take ballet, tap, and pointe. My whole life is pretty much dedicated to it and I love it! Sometimes it kills me but it helps me grow in character and personality.

4. I love to sing!

5. I am REALLY OCD about the blinds on windows... if the little flaps aren't pointing up, then I have to fix them!!

6. I love shoes and purses, and I love to pair them with outfits!

7. I confess, I am a Harry Potter Fanatic.

8. When I was little, my parents didn't let me listen to the Spice Girls or the Backstreet Boys or any of those bands. (They also didn't let me watch "Full House" but that's a different story!)

9. I am pretty obsessed with Facebook.

10. My favorite foods are watermelon, fried okra, and french fries.

11. I HATE change... It makes me so nervous and mixed up.

12. I NEVER throw things away! Look in my room and you will see things that I have had since I was born... for example, the Winnie the Pooh poster on my wall and my sister and my Barbie dolls in my closet!

13. I love to push myself to my limits, but sometimes i push myself overboard.

14. I have recently fallen in love with the band The Rocket Summer.

Well I guess that's about it!
I think I should start commenting on more people's blogs because it seems that I don't exactly have 2598209 people reading my blog and commenting everyday :) Anyway, If you drop by and read this blog, just give me a comment letting me know!

All Good Love,

SNOW!!

Hey blogworld... I'm back!

(I know you missed me... :)

These past few days I was on vacation to visit some family and there was a TON of snow! My cousins and I had a great time having snowball fights and building snowmen. We had a blast! Today was a tough day of traveling (lots of long flights + headache + motion sickness = not fun) but we're home now and all taking a break for the rest of the day.

I start school really soon (THURSDAY!!!) so I have to do lots of homework to do. I don't start dance back up until next week except for some extra classes that I'm taking this week so I hope that the lack of classes will help me adjust to being back in school. It's weird to think that I still have a whole half a year to go!

I hope everyone had a fantastic 2007 and I wish you all an even better 2008!

All Good Love,
C

Once

2007-12-26T22:10:00.000-08:00

So the other day my family and I watched a movie called "Once."
It was fantastic, to say the least.
We laughed (and in the nanny's case, cried) and had a great time! Today my sister and I went out and bought the soundtrack. It is pretty much the best soundtrack I've ever heard in my life!

Well... except for the Hairspray soundtrack.... but I mean, who can beat that?

Anyway, today was a good day! I spend 2 hours cleaning my room! It was REALLY messy but now it's clean! I love it when my room is freshly cleaned, it makes me feel so complete! Then I went shopping with my sister (which was CRAZY! Word to the wise: never go shopping the day after Christmas!!!) and we got some good stuff! Then I came home, worked on Drivers Ed, wrote all of my Christmas thank-you notes, and went to ballet!

Now, this was my first ballet class in a week, so it was pretty awful! My goal is to keep streching and dancing as much as possible for the next week because auditions for summer intensives start SOON! (AHHHHH!)

Anyway, I probably should go to bed because I have to wake up in 7 hours to go to ballet again...

All good love!

It's New and Improved!

Dear Readers,

Let me introduce myself. I am C, the Nanny's Sister, and I have decided to start a blog.
Because this blog isn't private, I won't really be giving much other info about myself.
I am a serious dancer. And I have a supercute pupster named Max.

Anyway...

TODAY IS CHRISTMAS!
It's been a good day so far.... We woke up late this morning (9:30 late enough for you?) then the fam sat down on our parents bed and we opened our presents for each other. Then we ate an amazing breakfast (Biscuits, Cinnamon Rolls, Grits, Cheese Eggs, Sausage, Baked Grapefruit.... the works!) and then we opened up the presents under the tree! The nanny and I got lots of good stuff! I think my favorite presents are my iT.unes gift cards (new music! yay!) and some slipper things from O.ld N.avy that are super cute and great to wear over pointe shoes around the dance studio!

It's pretty difficult to start a blog in the Nanny's footsteps but I'll try my best!
Any readers, please comment so I will be able to get to know you!

All Good Love,
C
